FSRI DISCLOSES CONTROVERSIAL DATA ON WORKPLACE HUMOR

Once in a while the FSRI likes to make public the results of some of its ongoing research.  Our goal in publishing these results is to broaden public awareness of the important issues and topics facing the business sector, and by doing so facilitate and effect change.  To be clear, the FSRI is in no way attempting to interpret this data.  The goal in our research is simply to produce data and let others come to their individual and varied conclusions.

RESULTS OF OUR LATEST RESEARCH ON HUMOR AT THE WORKPLACE:


1.  A PROMOTION CAUSES AN EMPLOYEE TO LOSE 13.7269% (ON AVERAGE) OF HIS OR HER SENSE OF HUMOR.  THE EFFECTS ARE CUMULATIVE OVER THE LIFETIME OF THE EMPLOYEE.*


2.  BUSINESS EMPLOYEES ARE PURCHASING FEWER AND FEWER HUMOR BOOKS OVER THE SPAN OF THEIR CAREERS.


3.  PURCHASING BUSINESS HUMOR BOOKS IS A GREAT WAY TO IMPROVE WORKPLACE PRODUCTIVITY.


4.  71. 834% OF LIFE COACHES AND MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS HAVE COMPLETELY LOST THEIR SENSES OF HUMOR.*

Thanks for looking at these numbers.  Use this data responsibly and don't drink and drive while viewing this data.

Decateur Resigns as FSRI Chief of Staff

Bogota, Colombia - The FSRI announced today that Decateur Thoms, FSRI consultant and recently appointed FSRI Chief of Staff, has resigned.  The reasons given for the resignation were provided by Ella Foster, VP of Media Relations.  "Decateur's resignation came as a result of time conflicts associated with the position. Apparently, Mr. Thoms finds it difficult to get up before 10:30 a.m. for our regular Monday briefings..."


"That's not true," insisted Mr. Thoms during a telephone interview conducted late last night from his apartment in S.E. Wisconsin. "It's just that I had stuff going on last Sunday and I lost track of time.  I got to bed real late. That's all.  Whatever, dude..."


At the time of the writing of this article, Karl Wolfbrooks Ager was unreachable for comment.
